The former Albany Railway Station building has a historic value for its links with WA's first land grant railway.
It is also significant for its role as an entry point for visitors and immigrants to Western Australia, thus giving it high social value.
The building has rarity value as the only remaining structure from the original Great Southern Railway between Albany and Beverley.
The lining of the building with packing case materials at the time of construction clearly demonstrates the integrity of the structure.
The old Bond Store has historical value as part of the early port development in Albany and for its association with George Cheyne.
